| dc.description | Rheumatoid arthritis is a pathology that affects between 0.5% and 1% of the world's population, and is more common in the geriatric population, since the risk of developing the disease increases with age. This systemic disease is mainly characterized by the damage it causes in the joints, which can be intermittent, causing joint destruction, deformity and varying degrees of functional disability in patients who suffer from it. It is important to take into account the difficulties faced by older adults who suffer from chronic pain and lack adequate treatment, which can reduce their life expectancy. The present research was carried out at the Gerontological Day Center of Canton Montalvo, during the period from June to September 2024, with the objective of identifying the physiotherapeutic techniques applied in the management of rheumatoid arthritis in older adults. Referring that physiotherapy treatment includes the use of various methods such as therapeutic exercises, massage therapy, laser therapy and thermotherapy, among others. It is essential to evaluate the degree of functional dependence of patients, which is related to their activities of daily living. The deductive method was used and the research approach was quantitative, descriptive and field, complemented with a bibliographic review. We worked with a sample of 25 older adults suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. The relevant results of this research reveal that the most used techniques in the physiotherapeutic approach for RA are manual therapy and strengthening exercises representing a high efficacy observed in 56% of the cases, the regularity of the physiotherapy sessions was highlighted as the most relevant factor for the effectiveness of the treatment. In conclusion, the techniques used in the center proved to be highly effective in improving the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis in older adults. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | La Artritis Reumatoide es una patología que afecta entre el 0.5% y el 1% de la población mundial, y es más común en la población geriátrica, ya que el riesgo de desarrollar la enfermedad aumenta con la edad. Esta enfermedad sistémica se caracteriza principalmente por el daño que causa en las articulaciones, que puede ser intermitente, provocando destrucción articular, deformidad y diversos grados de discapacidad funcional en los pacientes que la padecen. Es importante tener en cuenta las dificultades que enfrentan los adultos mayores que sufren de dolor crónico y carecen de tratamiento adecuado, lo cual puede reducir su expectativa de vida. La presente investigación se llevó a cabo en el Centro Gerontológico Diurno del Cantón Montalvo, durante el periodo de junio a septiembre de 2024, con el objetivo de identificar las técnicas fisioterapéuticas aplicadas en el manejo de la Artritis Reumatoide en adultos mayores. Referenciando que el tratamiento de fisioterapia incluye el uso de diversos métodos como ejercicios terapéuticos, masoterapia, laserterapia y termoterapia, entre otros. Es fundamental evaluar el grado de dependencia funcional de los pacientes, lo cual está relacionado con sus actividades de la vida diaria. Se empleó el método deductivo y el enfoque de la investigación fue cuantitativo, descriptivo y de campo, complementado con una revisión bibliográfica. Se trabajó con una muestra de 25 adultos mayores que padecen de Artritis Reumatoide. Los resultados relevantes de esta investigación revelan que las técnicas más utilizadas en el abordaje fisioterapéutico para AR son la terapia manual y ejerció fortalecimiento representando con uuna alta eficacia observada en el 56% de los casos la regularidad de las sesiones de fisioterapia se destacó como el factor más relevante para la efectividad del tratamiento. En conclusión, las técnicas utilizadas en el centro demostraron ser altamente efectivas en la mejora de los síntomas de la artritis reumatoide en los adultos mayores. | es_ES |
